Posted - 12/07/2017 : 01:23:07 AM My vision continues to erode at a rate faster than I’d like- I know this is treating the symptom, not the root cause, but is anyone running an RMR style optic on a pistol?

Just looking for opinions and experience.

Something like this:

Posted - 12/07/2017 : 11:32:27 PM My carry pistols have night sights. In the daylight, they are 3 white dots. Actually, with my eyes, they are three white blobs. It's OK. I can line up three white blobs.

Posted - 12/07/2017 : 8:39:28 PM I have a trijicon RMR09 on my Glock 41 mos a bit overkill but it works well,took awhile to get used to and I do like it.I shoot a little better with it,I need alot of practice to be proficent with it on a pistol for some reason and I can shoot a pistol pretty well.I love it on a 45angle mount on an AR.IMO if you don't have one you should check out the trijicon RMR 06 and the vortex

Posted - 12/07/2017 : 7:26:03 PM Not a fan of lasers since day light viewing is often limited, although they are great for dry fire practice.

I prefer the mini "halo" sights.

Quick aiming.

Posted - 12/07/2017 : 4:19:08 PM red dot sights have been used for many years in Bulls eye pistol matches I have used them for30 Plus years one thing I don't see much talked about is the size of the dot if you can hold the pistol so still Like Mr ZINES then you can use a 2 minute dot but if you are old and have tremorlike me I SUGGEST A LARGER RED DOT 8 MIN OR LARGER DOT A SMALL DOT WILL DRIVE YOU CRAZY I used to be a 2600 shooter you can shoot just as good of a group with a 8 min dot as a 2 minute dot from a rest and the dot looks like it is floating with a large dot not a dance as like a small dot from you hand

Posted - 12/07/2017 : 2:18:20 PM I have a Burris fastfire 3 on a S&W model 629 and one on a S&W model 41. I wear prescription glasses and when I shoot I have to take my glasses off because the red dot is distorted. Have been using these sights for years and have been satisfied with them and recommend them highly. Have five in all. One is on a crossbow and one on my grandsons Mossberg 510 another on a T/C Contender 7x30 Waters.

Posted - 12/07/2017 : 11:31:39 AM I have red dots on my Buckmark and Glock 17. Extremely helpful with old eyes. With the Glock, I can now shoot the same groups at 15 yards that I used to shoot at 10 yards with iron sights. I also can shoot wearing my regular glasses and not readers (since I couldn't focus on the front sight with my regular glasses).

YES x 1,000My pistol performance has been failing for 3-4 years and I was getting frustrated. I tried a red dot optic and the improvement was amazing. Now, I have RMR type sights on 3 Ruger 22/45 pistols and can give the young'uns a run for their money again.We don't phart around--we shoot 22 pistols at 100-125 yards and a good RMR( I use Burris FastFire I/II) allows me to make those shots I couldn't with open sights.

Posted - 12/07/2017 : 06:50:51 AM My concern would be racking with this optic on top and the added bulk these add not to mention costs.

Hanging a little laser off the front of your pistola.It helps the old eyes with more bang for your buck.
